Nikki Haley is really popular, even among Democrats

Published April 26, 2018 6:56pm ET



Democrats approve of U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley’s job performance at the same rate as they approve of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

A Quinnipiac poll of 1,193 voters conducted in late April found 63 percent of respondents approved of the way Haley is handling her job in the Trump administration, including a majority of Democrats. Fifty-five percent of Democrats surveyed approved of Haley, the same percentage of Democrats that approved of Pelosi, though the California Democrat’s approval rating among all voters was less than half of Haley’s, at 30 percent. Only seventeen percent of voters disapproved of Haley. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s, D-N.Y., approval rating among Democrats was only one point higher than Haley’s, at 56 percent. (The poll’s margin of error was plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.)
